Contrast and Compare
Scenario A (Social chatting): You are chatting with someone online who sends or posts a photo that looks “too perfect” and their messages feel contrived or just a bit off. They may even be using words crafted expertly by ChatGPT or other platforms to flatter and impress. You’re not concerned if the text is original or authentic, you want to know if the person is really a person or AI. Are they in the mode of deception, leading you into a false sense of security. Choose: AI TruthTeller®
Scenario B (Teacher/Employer): You want your students and/or employees to originate and write, to use their own brain to create something original rather than pose a prompt and have reassemble words and opinions gathered in from the Internet. Choose: Originality.ai
Scenario C (Customer Support / Online help): You’re chatting with “Mary” at your insurance company. Things aren’t going as smoothly as you had hoped and you need to talk with someone that can solve the problem. “Mary” responds quickly and professionally with lots of company information, but the problem isn’t getting solved. You need to escalate to a supervisor. However, “Mary” is a chatbot and there is another chatbot in the queue as her first line “Supervisor”. You’ve had enough and want to talk with a live person, not another chatbot. Choose: AI TruthTeller®
Final Thoughts
AI TruthTeller® and Originality.ai overlap in that they both provide AI detection on text. However, long-form text like published articles, student papers and research reports are fundamentally different than conversational exchanges between people. Large language models like those used by Originality.ai and AI TruthTeller® are trained on massive amounts of data. They are tuned to specific purposes, almost like a radio that is tuned to delivery specific types of music. AI TruthTeller® is built and trained to detect human conversation, human interactions and original images. It is a decision support platform to help you, as a person, avoid online deception. If your goal is security, verification and avoiding deception from AI generated content, AI TruthTeller® is the better choice. If your goal is professional content auditing, fact checking and authentic writing, Originality.ai is the better option.
